In order to explore the neural mechanism underlying salamander terrestrial turning, an improved biomechanical model is proposed by modifying the forelimb structure of the existing biomechanical model. Based on the proposed improved biomechanical mode...
Prediction of ground reaction force (GRF) magnitudes during running-based sports has several important applications, including optimal load prescription and injury prevention in athletes. Existing methods typically require information from multiple b...
Cricket fast bowlers are at a high risk of injury occurrence, which has previously been shown to be correlated to bowling workloads. This study aimed to develop and test an algorithm that can automatically, reliably and accurately detect bowling deli...

Leg morphology is an important outcome of evolution. A remarkable morphological leg feature is the existence of biarticular muscles that span adjacent joints. Diverse studies from different fields of research suggest a less coherent understanding of ...
After millions of years of evolution, fishes have been endowed with agile swimming ability to accomplish various behaviourally relevant tasks. In comparison, robotic fish are still quite poor swimmers. One of the unique challenges facing robotic fish...
Human activity recognition is an important and difficult topic to study because of the important variability between tasks repeated several times by a subject and between subjects. This work is motivated by providing time-series signal classification...
Real-time sensing and modeling of the human body, especially the hands, is an important research endeavor for various applicative purposes such as in natural human computer interactions. Hand pose estimation is a big academic and technical challenge ...
Robotic vehicles capable of transition from aquatic to terrestrial locomotion face considerable challenges associated with propulsive efficiency and performance in each environment. Here we present a morphing amphibious robotic limb that combines the...
BACKGROUND: Impaired gait plays an important role for quality of life in patients with Huntington's disease (HD). Measuring objective gait parameters in HD might provide an unbiased assessment of motor deficits in order to determine potential benefic...
Skilled forelimb behaviors are among the most important for studying motor learning in multiple species including humans. This protocol describes learned forelimb tasks for mice using a two-axis robotic manipulandum. Our device provides a highly comp...
